Sanding off corners

[Runa]

Hi all, I am trying to hone my sanding skills in small art pieces and struggling to find sand edges to round them off. Any particular techniques that work for you? I will appreciate any information you can share.

 

I currently use a belt sander for big sanding jobs i.e. even surfaces etc. I use dremel to remive fuzz from fretwork and i use hand sander for delicate fretwork or puzzles. 

I have used hand sander to round edges in puzzles but it never comes out nice and even :(

I use a "Mac Mop" from Klingspor.   Works great.

I use a 3M sanding wheel mounted in a lathe. can also use in a drill press.

Other options would be:

Metal file, Chainsaw file, Fingernail file (I grind the ends of them to different angles), Fingernail emery board (They are shaped like tongue depressors & quite aggressive), A few hand sanding blocks with different grits of sandpaper.

I see you've gotten quite a few answers but I wasn't sure I understood the question. Are you talking about radiusing a corner? It kinda sounded like that was the question. And, if it is, I mostly use a disk sander. If the stock is really hard or thick and the radius is pretty large (over 1.5") I'll knock off the corner with a band saw and then sand. Or if your talking about the edge and you want to soften it. I typically do that by hand with a sanding block and my sand paper wrapped around it.

I make sanding sticks of assorted sizes depending on what I need. One that I make and use is with the popsicle type craft sticks.  I set several down side by side and the spray the back of a piece of sandpaper and attach.  I cut them part with a razor knife.  They are cheap and disposable. You can make them with scrap Hollywood and various grit of sand paper.

For small things I have a set of Harbor Freight needle files.

router, if real large I have a 2-1/2hp shaper. have all sorts of routers that can round over in little time. Have a router table or two I can use.  Have no idea what you are asking. Maybe a photo or a much better explanation as to what you are doing. How much rounding how large is the project. Show us a picture. Then you can get better answers.

Thanks for the response everyone. I wanted to round off puzzle pieces (3/4 in) or other display (1/4in).

I use a Mac Mop for smoothing all my puzzle pieces. People at the craft sales are very impressed with that there are no sharp edges.
